The 64th Ramon Magsaysay Awards Festival Season is set to commence with the announcement of the 2022 Ramon Magsaysay Awardees on August 31
Asia’s premier prize and highest honour, the Ramon Magsaysay Awards (RMA) will announce the names of its awardees on August 31, 2022, the birth anniversary of the late Philippine President after which it was named.
Over the past few years, the Foundation has been ensuring its relevance, especially in an increasingly digital world. For 2022, the RMA will showcase the immense impact of the works of the 2022 Ramon Magsaysay Awardees to the world.
According to its President Susanna B Afan, this year's festival will revolve around the theme ‘Greatness of Spirit, Beyond Borders,’ a perfect reflection of the transformative work and inspiring lives of the 2022 Ramon Magsaysay Awardees."This year’s Magsaysay laureates prove that goodness knows no nationality, age, or gender—truly Greatness of Spirit is borderless," she shared.

In a statement, Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation (RMAF) Chairman Aurelio R. Montinola III said, “since 1958, the Ramon Magsaysay Award has been conferred on great men and women working in Asia who have exemplified what we celebrate as ‘Greatness of Spirit’—the same spirit that Pres. Ramon Magsaysay has embodied this throughout his life. This year, the Board of Trustees has selected four individuals from across the region whom we believe personify the best of Asia and the best of humanity.”
“The Foundation is very proud of our nature as an Asian organization, and we have been continuously introducing innovations that strengthen our identity as such. This year is no different, and what we promise our audience is an awarding ceremony that will have a stronger regional and inclusive Asian tone,” Montinola added.
